oh lord: Twitter outrage

Merry Krishna

Hi there,

What do you get the Hindu in your life who celebrates Christmas?

If that Hindu is me, you’d help us get to 400,000 newsletter subscribers by year-end by telling your colleagues, friends, and enemies about the CB Insights newsletter.

Sign up for this newsletter and make a Hindu boy’s Xmas dream come true.

Ok — now with holiday formalities out of the way, let’s talk about…..

Earlier this week, the Twitter outrage mafia went full-blown crazy about this tweet from Nathan Hubbard.

So we are in that part of the cycle, eh?

Where life has been so good for so long that if someone advocates for working hard, we now get outraged. Nice.

If you are outraged by any of the above, please don’t email me. You are, however, welcome to respond to Nathan’s tweet.
